Not available

I wanted it all
So I'm choosing nothing

With a nod to Shakespeare's wanton boys

Like a small boy you delight yourself
by removing my snail shell
not thinking that I might need it

Upgrade 2.0

When you're feeling ugly and fat and alone
There's a place that would like you to call
It's brightly lit and inviting, with sweet perfumed air
It's the beauty counter of our shopping mall
Try to avoid the tango-faced white coated females
Their wares are not for girls like you
You don't want your foundation to be a revelation
In a scarily unnatural hue.
